Flipsnack API

How to sign a request

All requests to Flipsnack API must contain an API key provided by us along with the signature
of the request. This signature is calculated using an API Secret Key which we provide along
with the API key. The signature proves that you are the owner of the account making the
requests.

Note: These keys are secret and they should not be disclosed or shared with
anyone else. Flipsnack does know your API key and secret key and no one who legitimately
represents Flipsnack will ask for these keys.

Create a string by concatenating the API secret key and request key-value pairs which
were ordered alphabetically (e.g. secretKeyaction3apiKey2collectionHash1).

The signature is the MD5 hash of the previous string.

Include the signature parameter to the API request
(e.g. signature=26e781d3d1751d82ec284acf4a019def).

If the request is incorrectly signed the API will return with the error code "44 - Invalid
signature".

Example:
We need to get information about the collection identified with the hash fxh4k89.
The API key is 45FD-267-7SG7832 and the API secret key is
123ABCDE-456-7890-FGH. In this case the request parameters are:
